Observations:
When I visited Mr. Wentworth's class i got to observe a firey teacher who had the attention of his student's, while also keeping the mood in the class light. Mr. Wentworth starts the class in front of the room where he takes attendance by looking around the classroom and seeing which seats are empty all while asking where the students are and making jokes. Once Attendance is done he walks around looking at everyone's homework to make sure assignments are done for these types of assignments students get checks for completed assignments. Mr. Wentworth also assigns weekly article reviews to give students a different form of learning. He grades these articles on a 5 point system 5 being completely done. After grades are taken the class is brought back to attention and he proceeds to walk around the class room asking questions to the class pertaining to the subjects of the day. It is at this point that he makes the students aware of homework on the board and what they will be doing in class. Now as the teacher walks around he is calling on students to answer his questions pertaining to the book. Mr. Wentworth told me that he doesnt not like to just stay in front of the class and talk he would rather be moving around and engaging the kids. The teacher is always quick with a joke which seemed to make the information more readily accepted because the students were learning while enjoying his presentation.
Reflections:
I really enjoyed the classes I saw today. I felt that i wanted to be a part of Mr. Wentworth';s class because he seemed to have a really good relationship with his kids. I could tell that he loved his job and to a certain extent it rubbed off on me. I thought the class transitioned well, and one student who tried to be the start of a few distractions was quickly stopped with what appeared to be very little effort on Mr. Wentworth's part. When i talked to the teacher he admitted that he liked to joke around and that would probably never change but the tricky part is to not let the kids get out of control and to make clear what is expected from them. in the end i thought the whole class was run well and all of the beginning managerial tasks were handled quickly and efficiently.
